Detecting when Inventor drawing files (*.idw) need to be updated

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to detect via Vault client or API when an Inventor drawing file (*.idw) requires an update due to an update to an assembly?

[minkd]

In base vault there is a FileStatus attribute on File objects which indicates if the file may need an update due to a new version of a dependency being checked-in; and there is a SetFileStatusByMasterIds in the Document Service that can be used to override it.

However, there is no way to search for out-of-date files, and the functionality does not exist in Vault Workgroup or higher.
